FORIS BOWL - BOWL / CASSEROLE - 14.5 CM - ASH GREEN - KINTO

Enamelled stainless steel bowl, 14.5 cm in diameter. Can also be used as a saucepan with its detachable handle (sold separately), as well as an oven dish.

FORIS is functional beauty. A collection of enamelled stainless steel tableware designed for camping, barbecues, and the great outdoors, as well as for the home and daily life. The clean design and natural colours blend perfectly into a wild environment, in harmony with the landscape.

Practical, easy to store and carry, each piece is stackable, like a camping mess kit. The stainless steel is thin and lightweight, yet strong and rust-resistant.

The originality of Kinto's design is its multi-functionality, thanks to the slot created on the side, which allows each piece to be used with a detachable handle to turn it into a cooking utensil: FORIS is not just a plate, bowl, or mug; it is a frying pan, saucepan, lid, or oven dish. The slot also allows the tableware to be hung from hooks for easy drying. Unlike traditional enamelled tableware with rolled edges, the thin, straight-edged design prevents water from pooling, which speeds up drying.

Properties of FORIS enamel:

• Stainless steel base: does not rust
• Very strong, durable, and lightweight stackable pieces
• Stain and odour resistant
• Suitable for direct heat, gas or electric, oven, wood fire
• Dishwasher safe
• WARNING: Do not use in the microwave

JIN KURAMOTO

To imagine this collection, Kinto called upon Jin Kuramoto, an industrial designer passionate about the outdoors and an experienced fisherman. Renowned for giving design concepts and stories a distinct form, he contributed numerous ideas drawn from his personal experience, such as the slots in the bowl to facilitate drying and the attachment of the handle to transform them into cooking utensils.

Jin is a director of the Japan Creative Association and vice-chairman of the Good Design Award screening committee.

KINTO

Kinto was founded in 1979 in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, in a rural landscape with no train station or main road nearby.

This is where designers create simple, beautiful, and functional objects: a Japanese philosophy designed for everyday life.

In 2023, KINTO FARM was launched, a farm created from scratch on raw land, serving as a field for exploring a way of life connected to nature, the seasons, and the community.

KINTO encourages a sustainable lifestyle, creating designs that adapt to all ways of living, whether sedentary or nomadic, indoors or outdoors—designs that accompany you everywhere, at any time of day.
